ILLUMINATION OF FASCIAS
A development in tlie use of electricity for illuminating the fascias of shops and other business premises is to bo seen in a new receiving office, which is being equipped by one of the cable companies, in Parliament street, Westminster. By suitable troughing of the actual metal work a convenient canopy is provided for illuminating the lettering which describes the business which is carried on, the light sources being entirely concealed. The desirability of providing for an exterior lighting scheme which is integral with the shop front itself, and incorporated therein, is obvious, and if the idea proves popular there will be a great increase in the number of illuminated fascias, many of which have perforce remained unlighted because of their inconvenient construction. Tho provision of shop fronts which recognise this form of lighting as a necessary part of the design should do much to encourage a development of late-hour shop lighting.
